Improvement after strokes
Strokes
Virgil Birch-Abban Asked 8 years ago
Hi pingskills, I have been training for a year now and have been able to get intermediate strokes but my footwork lets me down, how can I improve my footwork? And how can I further improve my strokes.

Hi Virgil,
In our Strokes and Techniques section we have a series on Footwork that will help you.
The main thing to think about initially is to get a good stance and then to focus on how to remain balanced during the movement.
With improvement of your game in general take a look at our Beginner Building Blocks of Table Tennis. This will show you how to move from learning your strokes to be ing able to improve your game play.
